Pro-China Lawmakers Call for Hard Crackdown
1300 | The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB), the largest pro-Beijing party, held a press conference this afternoon.
They called for a firmer stance from the government to suppress the unrests. Chairperson Starry Lee referred to attacks on party members, including Lawmaker Junius Ho, and decried the protestors for such “misdemeanour”. She believes the government’s reliance on the police force to put down the unrests has exhausted the force. Therefore, the government should facilitate inter-department cooperation and use all possible resources to assist the force. She added that citizens should be allowed to join in the concerted effort to crack down on the riots and that top officials should stand with the people and lead the formation of an “anti-riot committee” as part of a movement against the protestors.
When speaking of the district council elections on 24th November, she believed there might be chaos on that day, which would affect the polling stations and threaten the safety of citizens, and therefore suggested the government to undertake a series of measures, including police patrolling near polling stations. However, she didn’t know whether the government would postpone the elections.

Pro-China Mob Claim To be “FIERCEST In the Land”
Note: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/11051
This afternoon (Nov 14) in Yuen Long, an *East River Column Pro-Police march was held, occupying roads without the letter of no objection from the police. Whereas most of the soldiers of the column had deceased due to old age, the members in the mob were middle-aged. Many wear armbands with the words “I am a good HK citizen”. Those leading the team said to reporters, “Do you why there're no riot police? It is because we are the fiercest and the most powerful. The police won’t bother to come.”
The mob chanted slogans such as *“To open fire is justified. Law enforcement is no crime!” and called the protestors “cockroaches”, which was widely considered as discriminatory to the yellow-ribbons. Riot police arrived at the scene until the two-hour march nearly finished.

HK Journalist Leaves Post After Being Attacked by Pro-China Group for Filming Documentary on Xinjiang’s 'Education Camp'
A number of RTHK programs and journalists in Hong Kong have been repeatedly attacked by pro-China groups.
Among them is Yvonne Tong Yeuk-wun who hosts the English-language radio program "The Pulse" .
During her interview with #BruceAylward, the assistant director general of the #WHO in 2020, Tong raised a question of whether the management of WHO would reconsider the membership status of Taiwan.
Since then, she has been repeatedly targeted by pro-China activists. The #AppleDaily reporters have received information from sources at RTHK saying that Tong is suspected to have resigned from the ongoing pressure and will leave within this week.
A pro-China group went to RTHK earlier this month, accusing Tong of "using public money" to produce "anti-China fake news" by claiming that over a million people are being imprisoned in Xinjiang.
They demanded the station to have her fired. This is not the first time that pro-China groups have come to RTHK to protest against Tong.
Since the end of March in 2020, Tong was accused of violating the "#One China" policy by pro-China groups and even by The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau
after interviewing the WHO representative on "whether Taiwan's membership would be reconsidered".
Amen Ng Man-yee, the former head of Corporate Communications & Standards at RTHK, responded that Tong was carrying her job as a journalist and asked the question in a very matter-of-fact manner without any special meaning.
